Une cuve sert à permettre à un échantillon de circuler à travers elle à l'intérieur du boîtier. Une ouverture dans la cuve est ménagée sur au moins un côté d'extrémité de la cuve. Le boîtier présente une surface plate au niveau du bord de l'ouverture. L'élément de fenêtre présente une partie lentille dans sa partie centrale et les deux extrémités de l'élément de fenêtre présentent une partie périphérique plate. Une surface de la partie périphérique de l'élément de fenêtre est opposée à la surface plate du boîtier de façon à sceller l'ouverture. L'élément de pression est disposé sur le côté opposé de l'élément de fenêtre par rapport à la cuve, présente un trou servant à permettre à la lumière de passer dans sa partie centrale, est en contact de surface avec l'autre surface de la partie périphérique de l'élément de fenêtre, et presse l'élément de fenêtre vers le côté cuve.
